Beltrami County DWI Arrest: Brandon Hanko Booked<\/h2>\n

Beltrami County (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Brandon Hanko was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on July 25, 2026, after authorities alleged he committed two driving while impaired offenses. The charges include second-degree driving while impaired and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

According to the Beltrami County Jail booking record, Hanko was taken into custody on July 25. The record listed no bail amount, showing a balance of $0.00. No court date or court branch information had been posted when the booking information became available.<\/p>\n

Second-Degree DWI Charge<\/h2>\n

Hanko’s primary charge alleges second-degree driving while impaired. Under Minnesota law, this offense involves two or more aggravating factors. It is classified as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The second allegation states that Hanko operated a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. That offense is also listed as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Both charges are associated with case number 2026011851<\/strong>. Court records may provide additional information after formal hearings are scheduled.<\/p>\n
